Spider-Man fan Obama featured in bonus story
Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief.
"How great is that? The commander in chief-to-be is actually a nerd in chief," Quesada said.
The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.
Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man" and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.
